I ordered mine with the Clear and Smooth arcade mod. The arrows are covered in white, but I don't think it's just the tape, or am I wrong? Is the white layer part of the arcade mod or an extra layer of tape?

Just a plastic covering, peel it off, unless for some reason you want it on.

I can't wait for mine, it was scheduled to come today, but damn UPS is so slow.

yea it is just to protect the panels.
you arent supposed to unscrew screws to take it off, but since i unscrewed my arcade mod to see if my graphics were under it i just took of the rest then...

Yeah, I know what you mean. It came tonight at 7:12, crazy stuff.

I have to say I've fallen in love with my Flux. Crazy responsiveness and the thing is built like a tank. Get one.

Oh and one additional comment, make sure you clear the space before you unpack the Flux. The styrafoam is like a snowstorm, you'll definitely have to vacuum.

Yeah, it talk be about an hour to set everything up, clean, and unpack it. The foam is ridiculous.

Bad news, I'm starting to experience a lot of ghost arrows which give me errors. It's even evident in menus, it skips a title and goes back. I already tried loosening and tightening screws, and it didn't help. I think all I need to do is break the pad in, but I'm a paranoid person.

answers would be very helpful.

Nope, I just stand off the pad and hit an arrow and it moves twice at times. The problem has already seemed to subside a little bit but I still get them. It prevented me from AAing "Doll" before. The pad isn't arcade modded, just flat. I'm playing PS2 versions of the game, and corner buttons just activate menus.

how do you deactivate corners?

i am constantly hitting them and they are like registering random arrows.

If you don't use them for song selection, you can just put a couple pieces of paper inside them.

Ok, so my pad came yesterday. I busted it out, got rid of all the stupid sticker cover things on all the panels. Their is still some stupid foam packing stuff under the square and triangle buttons, but I just left it. My first impression was very good, I like the way it feels and the way it looks. However, the more and more I play, the more I feel like their are misses that I just shouldnt be getting. At first I thought I just needed to get used to it, then I thought it was cause I didnt turn the corner buttons off. Now after several hours Im starting to wonder, is their something I was supposed to do and didnt? I tried loosening and tightening all the screws (how tight are they supposed to be anyway

) and I do about the same. Like, its not horrible, but especially on 10 footers I dont do anywhere as good as I do at the arcade or even on my old foam pad. Any suggestions?

Hm..i ordered my CF last week.....12th of June. well its abit more than a week now. When i logged into to cobaltflux.com and viewed my order history, i noticed that the payment section's changed from "will charge when shipped" to " Pending payment" . The overall also says "pending". What does this actually mean?? does it mean that they've already built my flux and is pending on payment?

How much should I losen my screws? I'm getting a responce, but I have to stomp now for some reason.

AA Bob · Trick Member Joined: 24 Aug 2005 Location: Alllll right!

If you can move the panel a bit by pressing on it and moving your hand back and forth, the screws are too loose. So basically, the screws should be just tight enough to keep the panels from budging.
